Injury: I am a runner and had a similar problem for a length of time. You might have to incorporate some type of stretching. I would possibly first see a dr. And find out if the tendon is just strained or torn. Then, you might need some type of physical therapy, icing, heat, or even possibly ultrasound therapy. But need to be checked first!
